Three Versions of Borges: Betrayal as Creative Process

  • José Darío Martínez Milantchi
Keywords: betrayal - traitor - infidelity - loyalty - Borges

Abstract

This article explores betrayal and the traitor in short stories by Jorge Luis Borges. It begins with a conceptual overview of the act of betrayal, attempting to understand why treachery is so stigmatized and why it seems to lend itself so readily to literary representation. The article conducts an analysis of "Tres versiones de Judas" and proceeds to utilize the different interpretations of the biblical traitor as a frame to analyze other appearances of this theme in Borges.
